In my experience, the Jet 12 disc sander is much better than the delta. Better dust collection and no runout. A nice piece of equipment.

John,
Sounds like you do business the same way I do. I'ts always a battle, so I don't want to get rid of the disc sander and then regret it later.

Bill - Maybe if you were closer

I currently have 2 sanders and have not not used either one very much yet. I have had the Jet 12" disc sander, a real nice tool and the Grizzly G1140 belt sander that I found a good deal on.

Hi Rich,
I think you'll have a good time. Just don't expect to get any killer deals on major tools. There are deals to be had though. Also don't expect it to be an all day thing. I'm usually good...

To connect to the tablesaw, what I did was to replace the 4" dust port that it came with and mak my own port using a heat register with a 5" pipe connection. The unisaw has a rectangular opening on...

Jameel,
That looks pretty darn good to me. I think you have a great start on your ducting! I know you'll enjoy using it!

Hi Jameel,
I like that much better. Not trying to get too picky, but you may want to move the "Y" closer to the closet (so it's in the straight run of pipe) and flip it so the branch of the Y is...

In looking at the piping, I would also consider tucking the pipe to the rest of the shop against the wall. Just turn the Y so it is vertical and have the pipe hug the wall and then use elbows to...

I also used the Behr Ultra White, HIgh Gloss on the walls and cielings. No trouble with Glare and it really brightens things up. My shop is in the garage and by the time I got all the stuffon the...

I agree pocket screws is the easier way to go and will be strong enough.
If you want the practice/experience then go for the Dado's. My last shop project, a planer stand with drawers, I used...

Always a good reminder. I have made my share of stupid mistakes with the TS. Let's just call it the learning curve. A couple of things I try to keep in mind. If it feels unsafe, it probably is,...

In my soundproofing experience, basement home theater, you will need to balance cost and amount of sound proofing. The quieter you make it the more it will cost, what ever method you use.

You are correct it is the same splitter I had in there. I was able to get to work buy not using the silver bushings. This allowed more lateral adjustability. It still wasn't perfect, but...

I hadn't thought about the MJ splitter. May look at that if I can't get the this one wroking right. Let me clarify though, that it is nothing wrong with the shark guard/splitter, but I believe an...

Hi Paul,
Sorry for your trouble, I know it is frustrating. Sounds like you had a similar experience. In some strange way it does help that I am not the only one. I think the splitter is to...

I've had a LT unisaw for a few years now and have been happy for the most part, BUT, I could never quite get it set up perfectly.

I've always had a a little bit more resistance than would be...

While I don't post as often as a lot of you, I am reading the forums every day. I have contributed and will continue to do so in the future.

My take on internet forums is that they are...

Thanks Steve,
That's some good information! I think I'm done with the SW varnish, too difficult for me. I will look into the P&L you mention along with the techniques you described.

Cecil,
WHen you say to put on the Minwax product, are you talking a varnish, or a polyurethane? I really don't want to sand it all down, but I knew that was the best option.

Thanks

I am embarrassed to bring it up since this is supposed to be a super easy finish, but, I'm having trouble with Sherwin Williams Fast Dry Varnish..

First project was a hall table of Alder, and the...

Hi,
What I do is get a metal 6" to 5" reducer.. It slides perfectly into the 6"PVC pipe (ASTM2729 Sewer & Drain) and then slightly crimp the 5" metal end and slide the flex hose over it. Sometimes...

Hey Chris, thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize that and will try to delete the link. As for theproject, I'll give it a shot and see how things come out.

Hope you like California, it's...

OK, maybe this will help. This guy did a nice job on his TV stand and I'm planning something very similar. No doors. The top will be 63" long x 23" deep with a 1.5" overhang all around. I don't plan...

Hi,
I'm planning a long TV stand (tv's keep getting bigger :)) and am planning on using veneer plywood for the top and the bottom shelf and solid wood for the ends. I have to build as I could not...

I was eyeballing that unit for a long time at $399, but ended up with the Delta 14-651 for $145 or so and had to get it. I still think the PM is a better unit and I saw the price just jumped.
